Hi gang. After half a year of weekend tinkering, I managed to develop firmware for a low power 16bit general purpose controller MSP430 to decode CW, PSK31 and PSK63. It has a very limited user interface, one needs to tune the radio with precision of 10Hz using just baragraph. The power consumption is extremely low <3.5mA at min 2.75V.
The device is kitted by Steve Weber. Here is the manual. http://www.kufr.cz/~ok1iak/temp/decoder.pdf Steve's announce and information about kit purchase follows. Steve's ATS-4 kit provides direct paddle to PSK31 transmit function and this kit is considered an accessory to the ATS-4. 73, Vojtech OK1IAK, AB2ZA --------------------- from Steven Weber, [email protected] Vojtech's CW/PSK decoder is now available - for a short time Vojtech's long awaited stand alone, low power CW/PSK decoder/reader is now available for order. I am doing the kitting and shipping for Vojtech. The instruction manual is in the files section with the name "decoder.pdf" and will only be available there, no CD will come with the kit this time, as the manual is pretty short and you all know how to solder SMT parts by now. The price for the kit is $30.00 plus $5.00 ($35.00 total) for US postage and $15.00 for DX ($45.00 USD). It will be shipped in a flat rate Priority Mail box, as I didn't think to get any small boxes to ship this in and the LCD display needs to be shipped in a box for protection. Using Priority mail for DX orders will help ensure they get it in a timely fashion, as it seems the small box used to ship the ATS-4 kits in some cases resulted in long delays at customs. (I belive there is at least one which STILL hasn't shown up!) There are only 96 kits available (we used up some of the parts in testing) and I will only be able to accept orders until Friday, the 10th. I will be heading for FDIM at Dayton shortly after that and then be gone on a 3-4 week hiking trip, so any orders after that will have to wait until I get back. Due to the short ordering window, only use pay-pal and my email address from my web page. Thanks, Steve KD1JV
